I am in need for stories in form of movies, shows or games where an extremely large entity or organization exists, a force not to be reckoned with. A system which you cannot defeat, which you have to outsmart and escape instead. A system whose scale cannot be comprehended.

Examples coming into my mind are:

  1. the Portal franchise, with the Aperture Science Lab spanning miles filled with unlimited test chambers and test objects
  2. the Subnautica series, with the highly advanced precursor structures and technologies
  3. the Star Wars franchise, with the imperials having fleets of battleships and control over multiple colonies (i am not well versed with this franchise)
  4. the John Wick series, with the existence of the High Table and the powers of the Continentals (tho not science fiction)

Control

Eldritch horrors, SCP and all the fun stuff rolled into one game. Even the setting is some kind of unknowable entity drawing the protagonist in.

I was going to suggest some written stories until I saw you wanted movies, shows, or games which this definitely isn't. I'll still leave this here though in case anyone else passing through is interested:
